Washington D.C. – The League of Conservation Voters (LCV) Action Fund, which works to elect candidates who will fight to lower energy costs, build a clean energy economy, and strengthen our democracy for all, announced its endorsement of Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan for U.S. Senate in Minnesota.
“Peggy Flanagan’s career demonstrates her deep commitment to fight for Minnesota’s communities, for the air we breathe and the water we drink, and for ensuring a livable climate for future generations,” said LCV Action Fund Senior Vice President of Government Affairs Sara Chieffo. “As MAGA Republicans in Congress continue to help Trump roll back safeguards for our health so that polluters continue to make massive profits at our expense, we need leaders who will stand up for people and hold Big Polluters accountable.”
“I’m honored to have the endorsement of the League of Conservation Voters Action Fund. LCVAF fights every day to protect our environment and build a clean energy economy, and I look forward to partnering with them in the Senate,” said Lt. Governor Peggy Flanagan. “Trump and his allies continue to gut environmental protections and cut clean energy investments. Minnesotans deserve a Senator who will stand up for them and our planet, not Donald Trump.”
About Peggy Flanagan
Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan has spent her career fighting to protect Minnesota’s communities and environment. As Lieutenant Governor, Peggy Flanagan worked alongside Governor Tim Walz to bring clean energy jobs to Minnesota and invested in innovative strategies that combat the effects of climate change. Previously, she was elected to the state legislature, where she led Democrats on child care issues and engaged her colleagues to form the POCI (People of Color and Indigenous) Caucus. During the 2017-18 session, when her party was in the minority, Peggy was one of only two DFLers to successfully chief author a bill that became law. Since becoming Minnesota’s Lieutenant Governor in 2019, she has made a difference for families. She helped pass Minnesota’s paid family and medical leave program into law and make investments in education, healthcare, and housing.
